Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq hopes his team's exhausting trans-Tasman flight schedule won't undermine their World Cup hopes as they prepare to tackle the amateurs of the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday

Former Australia captain and two-time ICC Cricket World Cup winner, said winning the tournament was all about getting the balance right between intensity and enjoyment and New Zealand was the side getting that balance spot-on

Australia's Glenn Maxwell was both mocked and praised Monday after video emerged of him making a 'choking' gesture just moments before Kane Williamson launched the giant six that won clash for New Zealand

After criticising Misbah-ul-Haq severely in the recent past, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar yesterday took a U-turn, saying the captain was the person who was keeping the team alive and he needs support from other batsmen
